Bedlam bust for Sooners

by

The Sooners were unable to overcome three turnovers, despite its defense making two 4th down stands and limiting a Heisman-candidate running back, and lost 27-24 to Oklahoma State in the last Bedlam matchup for the foreseeable future.

The truth of the 2023 season is Oklahoma has made great improvement from a dismal 2022 season, but they are still a step away from competing for a conference championship or contending for a college football play off spot.

Most importantly, their talent level across the board, leaves very little margin for error to allow them to shrug off key turnovers against a well-coached team like OSU.

But this year Oklahoma has found a way to win the close ones. And did so on a pleasant fall Saturday in Norman, defeating UCF 31-29 to grab its fourth conference win and remain unbeaten at 7-0.

They did it with a good defensive effort, holding UCF to just one first down in the first quarter and holding the nation’s No. 3 rushing offenses to 149 yards on 41 carries. UCF had average 246 yards per game coming into the contest.
